Top 10 Nightlife Experiences in Bangkok

10 Things to DO at Night in Bangkok

“One Night in Bangkok can make a hard man humble”. It’s the old cliché, from the old musical ‘Chess’. What this slogan ignores is the diversity, the fact that Bangkok now registers a strong steady blip on the global nightlife radar. Raucous, refined or raunchy? Culture, carousing or some clubbing? Forget what you’ve heard, one night in Bangkok can make man or women not just humble – but happy. Proof can be found in this eclectic blend of old classics and new school, our top ten nightlife experiences.

Bada Bing is a fun-loving and friendly bar on Patpong Soi 2 where every night over 25 girls dance provocatively on stage dressed in sexy denim micro-shorts, army uniforms, nurses outfits and many other fantasy costumes that wouldn't keep you warm, but certainly make the customers heat up. Often considered the best gogo bar in Bangkok, the design is modern, the service prompt, and best of all, Bada Bing is one of the only bars in the Patpong area where you can totally relax and enjoy yourself. With free entry every night of the week, you've got to ask yourself 'why haven't you seen this place with your own eyes?'
